The Chicago Tragedy.

One Of the condemned Chicago Anarchists
committed suicide yesterday, the sentences
of two of them have been commuted to
imprisonment for life, and four are to die
on the gallows to-day. Gov. Oglesby has
not been influenced in the least, as far as
the public knows, by the numerous appeals
which have been made to him to pardon
the convicts, or at least to commute
their sentences to imprisonment. 1t is ap-
parent that in committing the sentences of
Fielden and Schwab he was influenced
wholly by statements made to him by Judge
Gary. who presided at the trial of the An
archists, and the States Attorney, Mr. Grin
neil. The Judge made statement showing
that there were circumstances which would
Justify a communication of Fielden's
sentence and the States Attorney
made statement in behalf of
Schwab While the weight of public
sentiment was IN favor of carrying out the
sentences of the court with respect to all of
the convicts, there are few, if any, who will
find fault with the Governor for showing
mercy TO those of the seven. in behalf of
whom the Judge and prosecuting officer in
terposed a special plea.
The country viii not be sorry when the
tragedy is completed. Doubtless everybody
would I've glad if there were no occasion for
it, but the occasion having arisen, the gen
eral belief is that the public welfare re-

An English Girls Blunder.
Fom the Boston Courier.

OHI tHt bUStVFt CUUIftT'
The blunders Of foreign visitors always strike
one as far more droll than they really are 1t
tickles the vanity to find intellectual people
making mistakes about matters that to those to
the manner born appear perfectly simple, since
to know so well what causes another to stumble
seems to argue a most lofty intellect
And yet the errors into which strangers fall
are usually logical enough. For instance, it
was by no means strange that in a land where
butternuts abound an English girl should make
the mistake which so nightly tickled Boston
ians last winter.

Girl POLITICIANS.

Three girls were candidates for the office
of School Commissioner in different parts Of
the State of New York last Tuesday. Miss
Ida NJ. Griffin was the Republican candi-
date at Oswego, Miss Nellie NJ. Cook the
Democratic candidate at Wolcott, and Miss
Ellen A. Clark the Prohibition candidate at
Macedon. Miss Giifiin's district was strong
~ Republican and she received the full sup
port of her party and was elected. The dis
trict in which Miss Cook ran is also Repub-
lican by about 800 majority. Being Il
Democrat the chances for success We're
against her from the very beginning of her
canvass. Being young-only q years
of age-and handsome, and hav-
ing plenty of money she entered the
campaign with show of pluck and energy
which seemed to promise victory. She rode
from one village to another in carriage
drawn by four spirited horses, and, in the
public halls, made speeches which, it is said
possessed a great deal of merit. She was
everywhere treated with the greatest cour-
tesy and won the praise of every one for
her courage and modesty. On the day Of
election many Of her young lady friends
went to the polls and solicited votes for her
In her own village she had fine lunch pre-
pared for all who supported her
Hundreds of Republicans who had
never voted anything but the
straight Republican ticket scratched
their tickets, and placed here name upon
them. She was beaten by only few votes.
In view of the fact that her party was
largely in the minority, her canvass was
a remarkable one. If she devotes her life
to politics she will certainly make very
successful politician.
Miss Clark did not display the popular
qualities which enabled Miss Cook to come
so close to victory. She was not good at
speech making, and lacked the courage to
ask for votes. She was, therefore, badly
beaten. Miss Griffin it is said, has the
honor Of being the first woman ever elected
School Commissioner in the Empire State.
The entrance of those three girls into the
field of politics may be only the he ginning
of a movement on the part of women in
New York and, perhaps, in other States to
secure possession of the minor offices. They
are filling very acceptably many positions
to-day in which they were totally unknown
few years ago. 1t would not be strange,
therefore. if, in few years, the names of
women should appear frequently upon po-
litical tickets.

The success of the Republican candidate
in the Second Rhode Island district gives his
party majority of the delegations OF
twenty States in Congress-just enough to
elect a President should the Electoral College
be unable to do so. Many Democrats will
think it fortunate that the chances for a
deadlock, attended by intense excitement
and perhaps corrupt political trading, is
thus destroyed. The success of the Demo-
cratic candidate would have left Congress
unable to elect.

George Francis Train has not gone to
Canada yet. He stopped over in Chicago
Tuesday long enough to warn his friends to
leave the city, as Anarchists from all parts
of the country were quietly gathering, and
would wreak vengeance of the most awful
kind if their comrades were executed. The
threat which so promptly put George
Francis to fight few weeks ago-that he
would be put in an insane asylum-ought to
be repeated. He is evidently conscious of
his weak point, and it should be used to
keep him out of mischief
